About 2 years ago I had a very sudden and acute fear of driving over bridges. It came out of nowhere! I was pregnant with daughter at the time and was very swollen/off balance with the pregnancy. It felt like my car would just go over the side and I was petrified. Since then, I have avoided bridges that I deem 'too risky' - low sides, very high, feeling like you aren't touching the ground, etc. I feel as if I'm crazy! To make matters worse, I had a recent episode of vertigo while driving in the city (no bridges, no highway). I am now extremely anxious to drive anywhere and feel that my anxiety is perpetuating my vertigo symptoms of chronic dizziness and unsteadiness. When I get in the car, if I even start to 'space out' for a minute or if my sinuses drain, I feel like I'm going to have the vertigo again. Any help out there would be appreicated. I have seen an ENT, going for Vestibular Rehab consult tomorrow and a Neurologist next week. I just want it to stop - I feel like my world is getting smaller by the minute b/c of this (irrational) fear.
